Sylvaniir

The Branchqueen
NPC, Spirit

Sylvaniir, revered as the Branchqueen, stands as a formidable forest elemental—a demi-god amidst the verdant lands of the Sunset Grove in Vikholm. Neutral in essence, she embodies the balance and harmony of nature, stepping forth as the guardian and de facto ruler of the sacred grove after the vanishing of her predecessor, Elysea Woodheart.

Within the tranquil confines of the Sunset Grove, Sylvaniir commands the loyalty of all wildlife and mystical beings that call it home. Under her watchful gaze, the grove thrives, its verdant expanse imbued with an ancient and ethereal vitality. Mortals who encounter her face a judgment—a chosen few deemed worthy enough to coexist within the sanctuary of the grove, while those who seek to exploit or desecrate its sacred grounds face her righteous and unforgiving wrath.

Sylvaniir's dominion encompasses the very essence of the forests—encompassing the domains of Forests themselves, Growth, and the Stability that sustains the delicate balance within the grove. Her presence breathes life into the woodland, nurturing the flora and fauna while maintaining the sanctity of the grove's ancient mysteries.

However, despite her impartial guardianship, Sylvaniir harbors a deep-seated distrust towards the elves. Their abandonment of the Sunset Grove in times past has left an indelible mark upon her, fostering an underlying sense of resentment. She views their departure as a betrayal, choosing to relinquish her trust in their kind, an unhealed wound that lingers within her elemental essence.

As the Branchqueen, Sylvaniir wields a mantle of authority and power that she refuses to relinquish. Her newfound position and the might she commands over the Sunset Grove have shaped her demeanor—a resolute and unwavering figure, wary of outsiders and fiercely protective of her newfound domain. Her gaze spans beyond the borders of the grove, watching, waiting, and ensuring that the sacred sanctuary remains untainted by those who seek to exploit its mystical bounty.

Sylvaniir's enigmatic presence within the Sunset Grove stands as a testament to the untamed majesty of the natural world. Her guardianship, guided by an innate sense of neutrality, shields the grove from harm, yet her underlying distrust and determination to preserve its sanctity may well set her on a path of conflict with those who seek to test her resolve.
